A GA4 metric measuring user interactions (clicks, scrolls, conversions) during a session.
Engagement rate is the percentage of sessions that meet your analytics platform’s definition of “engaged”. In GA4, for example, a session is typically engaged if it lasts longer than a threshold, has multiple pageviews, or triggers key interactions. Engagement rate can be more meaningful than bounce rate for many modern sites.
High engagement is not the goal by itself - profitable outcomes are. Use engagement metrics to find where the journey breaks.
